This extraordinary oil painting features a backdrop blending different shades of blue, starting with dark blue at the edges and gradually lightening in a chiaroscuro effect with a combination of sky blue and turquoise hues, which in turn transforms into the headscarf of a beautiful and innocent child. Guatemalan artist Carolina Cabrera says she finds “pure innocence, an unexplored world of possibilities and a palette of emotions yet to be discovered in the baby’s gaze. Every stroke that shapes that face of infinite sweetness is a tribute to the fragility and beauty of childhood.”

This exceptional oil painting is a celebration of Guatemalan culture and traditions. A sitting woman, dressed in a traditional outfit with a long, deep blue skirt, represents the identity and heritage of her country. The vibrant colors and serene posture suggest a deep connection with nature and spirituality. Artist Carolina Cabrera works with Japanese paper on canvas as a background, expertly painting it with acrylics and oils until the desired texture is achieved. She completes this magnificent scene with exquisite accents such as petite glass beads, intricate cotton stitching and colorful pom poms.

Guatemala's beauty is timeless and harmonious.

Working with oil paints, Hugo Pichiya brings San Jorge La Laguna to life, a charming village nestled along the shores of Guatemala’s breathtaking Lake Atitlan. In the distance, the towering Toliman Volcano rises beneath a clear sky, while the lake stretches out in quiet splendor. The foreground is filled with the warmth of daily life—a woman in traditional Maya attire and a man in a wide-brimmed hat tend to their sheep, framed by white-walled homes with terracotta roofs and a central church. Lush greenery and bursts of pink, orange and yellow flowers weave through the scene, capturing the beauty and rhythm of this splendid village.
